FIL: Isang lugar na laan para sa paglilibing sa mga yumao; sementeryo.
EN: cemetery; graveyard
The original 'final resting place.' It's where you visit your ancestors during Undas, armed with candles, flowers, and a deck of cards. It's the one place where everyone's quiet, except for that one tita who's broadcasting the family drama over your lolo's tombstone.
From Spanish "camposanto" (holy field).
A more traditional or formal term for 'sementeryo.' Often heard in provinces or in literary contexts.
